Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I use shareasale.com to track the performance of affiliates. I think there is no best affiliate network out there. What works for you is the one for you.

You can't target IP addresses in Google Analytics or site catalyst. Your core audience are those who complete a goal conversion or an e-commerce transaction.  Apply the advanced segments: 'visits with conversions' and 'visits with transactions'  to your analytics report and then look at your daily/weekly/monthly visits/visitors or other metric.  GA will tell you what percentage of visits resulted in goal conversions or e-commerce transactions.

As long as i know you can't add wildcard sub-domains to Google webmaster tool (GWT). You can add up to 1000 websites to your GWT account. If you have more than 1000 sites than use another Google account. Since reporting works best on a site level, i would add each sub-domain as a site.

You need to add setTimeout() method in your Google Analytics Tracking code something like this:

_setTimeout(“_gaq.push(['trackEvent','Profitable Engagement','time on page more than 3 minutes'])”,180000);

yes

prweb.com is a decent pr site. There is a possibility that you can get a link from yahoo news and other big websites. Regarding SEO benefit, it will be temporary as your press release will get archived pretty quickly because of large volume of new press releases being published daily. You should also use HARO for branding purpose.

you may  be blocking the mozbot. Do you remember the exact date when it started happening? If yes then you can identify and revert the changes. Also check your robots.txt and .htaccess file for any abnormal changes during this time period.

I generally use heading of the landing page as the title tag. This makes the title tag relevant to the landing page and it also improves the CTR (provided your landing page handing is really Click worthy in the first place).  I use business name at the very end of the title tag and never at the very beginning no matter how big a brand is. I also don't repeat keywords because they don't help SEO wise and make the title tag looks spammy. i hope it helps.

such rankings drops are generally temporary. wait for few more days. How soon you will recover your rankings depends upon how frequently Google crawl and index your website.

Did you change the title tags of some of the pages knowingly or unknowingly? This could be one of the main reason. Other reasons can be accidental changes in the robots.txt file, htaccess file or incorrectly placed rel=canonical, meta noindex tags on certain pages. There is also a possibility that your website is hit by recent Penguin update or for over optimization. You need to check your website against all of these possibilities.

Check all traffic sources report in your Google Analytics account and determine which traffic sources have experienced a significant drop in traffic in the last few days. If it is Google organic, then determine the keywords which are sending less traffic now. Always check your analytics whenever you experience a significant rise or drop in traffic.

You need to add setTimeout() method in your Google Analytics Tracking code something like this:

_setTimeout(“_gaq.push(['trackEvent','Profitable Engagement','time on page more than 3 minutes'])”,180000);

Google will ignore this tag.

There are no such rules. The frequency of crawling & indexing depends a lot on how frequently you post new contents on your website. If you post new contents several times a day, then Google may crawl & index your web pages within minutes.

phpb has major security issues and its back end is not as Good as vbulletin.

How you can get ROI from Google+ when the target audience is not there? I work in the fashion and medical industry and no one is on Google+, at least not in that numbers where i can think of running a social media marketing campaign. Google+ is predominantly occupied by the tech industry. Period.

pages which are hosted on web servers located in Australia.

Yes most probably. Incoming links play an important role in crawling and indexing of a web page.

Create a new profile in your account which tracks only those web pages which need to be accessed by another company. Then give the other company access to that profile only (and not to the whole account. A GA account can have multiple profiles, remember!). There is no need to track same web pages through multiple GA accounts.

You wont be penalised for such type of redirect. You can block all the traffic coming from their domain or IP via .htaccess file.
